NEW NAME FOR rosyth2012spellingbee is rosythspelling



Dear Rosythians,

At the beginning of the year, we started rosyth2012spellingbee

The new name for this site is rosythspelling

This site encourages Rosythians to be a better speller or strive to be an EXCELLENT SPELLER!

Join us by contributing - make spelling lists. Mrs Helen Tan and I as organisers will edit your list so don't get upset if you see changes made to your list.

I am working at getting more Rosythians to come up with Spelling lists in preparation for selections for National Spelling Championship.

Do listen out for the announcement over the school announcements in the mornings.

There will be 2 competitions:

Our own Rosyth Spelling Contest 2013:

The Preliminary Round will be held in 2nd or 3rd Week of Term 1.

Finalists of the Rosyth Spelling Contest may be chosen for

the National Spelling Championship 2013.

Enjoy the end of year holidays.
Keep learning your SPELLING!
